Sound Off: It's a convenient excuse

Anyone familiar with the South End Tavern and Irish Mist know they both have been on a banana peel for years. The reasons are many. Reassessments are just a convenient excuse to blame the city instead of looking at mismanagement and poor decision making. Too many restaurants are flourishing in Troy in all kinds of neighborhoods.

House for sale

Thank you City of Watervliet and the Watervliet City Council. Sixth Avenue closed to traffic, can't even park in front of my own house. Dust, noise in a neighborhood. Anyone looking for a house to buy, mine is available.

Start fining people

I'm 99 percent sure that when I received my trash can from the city many years ago, there was more than one article in The Record regarding to collection. It specifically stated that trash that cannot be left in front of a residence more than 24 hours before the day of scheduled pick up. If the City of Troy would simply drive around and start fining people for leaving the cans out in front of their houses, they would make extra money.

Time to go

Not only is it time for Sheldon Silver to go, it's time for Sheldon Silver to go to jail. Along with all the other politicians.

Enough

I refuse to support any more politicians or organizations that support all these houses for druggies, alcoholics and bums. Enough is enough.

Get alerted

I am an 80-year-old senior, and the best thing I've ever done for myself was get the Samaritan Hospital Life Alert. It gives me peace of mind, since I live alone. I would advise any seniors who lives alone to do the same.

Appalled

I am on a fixed income, looking for a decent place to live. I am appalled at some of the places landlords offer.
